Crosslinkers are generally introduced to polymer-based fracturing to improve rheological properties of the fracturing fluids. Zirconium Crosslinker is a Zirconium Chelate crosslinker used for crosslinking guar-based fluids for high temperature applications. Crosslinking of Zirconum fluids are temperature dependent.

Chemical Properties and Application
Crosslinker KHF026 is a Zirconium crosslinker used for crosslinking guar and guar derivative based fracturing fluids. The crosslinking is very slow if Zirconium Crosslinker is added into linear gel (pH 6-8). However, the crosslinking is activated by raising the fluid pH value above 8.5, and causes rapid crosslinking to occur in HPG and CMHPG fluids. Since crosslinking of Zirconium fluids are temperature dependent, higher temperature is needed to crosslink. Zirconium Crosslinker can be used to crosslink most guar or guar derivative based fracturing fluids. It is compatible with most additives used in fracturing fluid systems which are engineered for use up to 350 degF (177 degC).
